Description

@dialogbox

Your license is almost identical to MIT license except the next line.

Portions Copyright (c) 2009 The Go Authors (license at http://golang.org) where indicated

I'm not sure if you intentionally modified the license. If not, can you please update the license with more explicit license model name? By doing this, you can have github displayed the name license model in the 'About' section of the front page. This would give users have confidence on it.

The below is what we get from github's license template.

If you intended this, can you please add a little more description/caution in the LICENSE file? Since the rest of the license statements are identical, people can assume it as the MIT license.
